Update on the Island Of Kalihirin - it is complete. Now for the write up, then mapping each site.

The island has an area of about 255 sq km, a bit smaller than the Caribbean nation of St Kitts and Nevis, which has a population of about 50,000. So plenty of room for lots of adventure. I always worry about putting too much on a small island, but I am reassured by real world examples. I guess living in the massively big and massively underpopulated country of Australia, where a 100 km drive is considered nothing, makes me leery of putting too much on a small island, like UK or St Kitts and Nevis.

Solid black 20 worked better.

The Hill shade is Solid White 20, so I will try those effects out - thanks heap, Sue - that is the sort of comment i am looking for.

Just fixed it, and the result is much better. Thank you.

I have decided on another map for the annual sample. I am now able to include alleys and trees in the conversion process, so feel free to add trees and alleys to your generated maps from Watabou.

This is the map I generated from Watabou, including emblem, trees and alleys. It was called Low Rock, which translates to Craig Isel in Welsh, so I am intending to go for a Welsh feel with the names. And the industry will be some sort of iron-working industry, as per the coat of arms.

I have outlined the roads to show them, but in the SVG export, I have unchecked outlines for all except BUILDINGS. I haven't got any fields, so will use Drawtools to add my own.

Here is the result after complete conversion, all using Drawtools, except for the emblem (which I also exported from the generated map).

Here is the sample map so far, using Drawtools only, apart from text.

Best of luck with the surgery. Look forward to your return. ❤️
